Hi @jonathanbro, that's the way AWS manage the API throttling, you can try to avoid the with --aws-retries-max-attempts 1, more info here.
Let us know if that works for you!

Hey @sergargar thanks for the update! Yep I tried that and it didn't help :(

If there's nothing we feel we can do, please close the issue :)

Hello @jonathanbro, I think this time there is little we can do since it is AWS who is rate-limiting the API. As @MrCloudSec mention, we can configure retry attempts but if the API is still rate limiting we can recommend you the following:

• Add more delay between scans focusing the rate-limited APIs
• Review your internal usage for the rate-limited APIs
• Talk with the AWS support team to see if they can increase API limits for your use case.

I apologise but at this time I can't think of more options.
